Location and Service: Fantastic spot as it's a close walk to the palaces and shopping/food areas in downtown. The staff are extremely helpful with directions and very polite. Rooms: The furniture is trendy and modern. Beside the bed is a touchscreen operator panel where you can control the lights including dimming, curtains, and temperature. The bed is luxurious, absolutely comfortable... More

I first stayed at the Plaza 5 years ago, when it was a warm, worn, place of tiny rooms with heavy oaken doors. It seemed to want to be a Western hotel like the St. Francis in SF. Then, in 2010, it was renovated. The designer must have a background in doing kindergartens or something. The suite I had in... More

This hotel is very modern (electric panel to operate the toilet, and another one for the curtains, lights etc) and in an excellent location. If you are in Seoul for a day or two you can pretty much do the main sights from here (the palaces, the markets, the walk-way by the stream...) and it is very easy to get... More

As this was our first visit to Seoul and we were totally unfamiliar with the city, we were a bit apprehensive as to which hotel to choose. Location is very important to us, as is the quietness and cleanliness of the rooms. Overall we were not disappointed with the Plaza, even though there was an issue with the noise levels... More

THe hotel has modern equipment and unique in design, spacious and functional. THe location is great, just walking distance from Myeongdong (명동) is one of the primary shopping districts in Seoul. The surrounding area has lots of eating places and also a wholesale market for children's fashion. I have staying for a few times and always enjoyed the stays.

Stayed at this hotel over the Easter break. It was our first time in Seoul and thought it was one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world. The hotels interior really matched the vibe of the city - contemporary with a touch of quirkiness e.g. massive over hanging lamps in the rooms, bed in the middle of... More

Stayed at this hotel and found it very comfortable. It is located at the center of Seoul right next to a subway station. The hotel is designed in a exquisite way-- not a typical hotel. Th breakfast offered is very diverse-- suits every taste. The best thing is the bed which is very comfortable.

Beautiful hotel with great service and food. The gym is in another building so if you are there in the winter be prepared as you will need to walk outside. Rooms are contemporary and tasteful fully furnished. The hotel in near an area of government protests and very loud due to the location and I had issues sleeping. Nice experience... More
